President Bush went to Capitol Hill this morning, accompanied by Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert, to meet with and speak to the House Republican Conference and discuss issues and encourage support for CAFTA. Later he welcomed March of Dimes National Ambassador, Navy Anderson of Logan, Utah in the Oval Office, and then greeted the 2005 Boys and Girls’ Senators in the East Room. The Senators were selected to represent their states by the American Legion and American Legion Auxiliary. Tonight the President will be traveling to Ft. A.P. Hill in Virginia to address the Boy Scout Jamboree meeting there, to voice his support of the Scouts, and his thoughts and prayers for the families of the leaders who were killed yesterday.
ENJOY your trip to Sanity Island, and the Daily Dose!!
Maybe they're little bitty dinosaurs........
is it possible to visit the house inside??? I`D LOVE IT.
yeah, the clintons are not so cool... i`d love to see the BUSHES!!!!!!!!!
I know what a turtle dove sounds like, and it's not that.
I too am falling asleep here, so I'll check back in the morning and reply.
I just realized that I've posted almost 300 threads (I'll have that done in a few weeks).
I'm getting to be a veteran here!
GOOD NIGHT, ALL!
Now I'm curious........WHat bird makes a whirling "Z" sound?
Mama, I saw a great blue a few years ago. We were walking around a lake in a small preserve near here and saw him standing on the shore kitty korner to us. I had NO idea they were that big. I thought it was a man standing there. Can you imagine what their nests look like?
A friend of mine who lives a few blocks from me has a small waterfall and fish pond and she says the great blues eat her little goldfish.
Maybe some of our Maryland/DC people can tell you that.....
Good night!
[I hope you have something FUN planned for tomorrow!]
Thanks. I`ll see.
I hope I`ll see him... :-) He`s so handsome!!!!
Believe it or not, a chickadee. They do it when there's an enemy nearby. I've heard them. It's actually the "d" sound at the end of their "chickadee" call, but then they keep doing the "dee" sound over and over. The more serious the threat to them the more they do the "dee" sound. It's been described as a "zee" sound, and that's just the way I heard them do it.
By the way, I never knew they climbed up trees and ate bugs until I saw them doing it today. Adorable little creatures.
The turkey vultures can sometimes take a person back a bit, particularly when they fly over your car.....We have a roost (over a dozen) about a mile down the road.......
They also climb upside down....QUite the little clowns.....Have you ever seen a Humming Bird nest......Found one last summer!
I got a glimpse of what we thought was a turkey vulture about 30 miles from here a few weeks ago. Man, they are ugly.
"No Flip Flops on those kids."
LOL! That's exactly what I was looking at. I also noticed that they all had respectable length skirts on, too.
About ready to fall over here. This WONDERFUL cool weather is tempting me to bed, a book, and FINALLY a night w/o an air conditioner sounding like it's about to gasp and die. Goodnight, all.
Not just ugly.....almost frightening.....CLick on Hoosiermama and have a tall glass of lemonade . There are redwing blackbirds nesting in the pond and several wood peckers nearby...The Orio nest is just behind the gazebo.
Must do some serious bonding with my pillow.....If you're ever in SO IN stop by....Hope to have the cabin open for guest very soon. Three more projects.
Verrry nice photos of very serious fighters!!
Thanks ever so much, snugs! I surely do need it.
It's always so much better to move in the summer than the winter, and the forecast looks good for moving day.
I will be happy when it's over.
Shortly after I get moved, I'll be housesitting about 70 miles from my new home, sort of a vacation for me really, as the place is so peaceful, beautiful, and on the water, which is my favorite place to be.
I truly feel the effects of the prayers of God's people. What a blessing to be a part of His family!
